    <p>Instructors can use the PostEm tool to upload and distribute a comma-delimited (CSV) spreadsheet to present individual feedback and/or grades to students. Instructors can upload as many feedback files as they want. Students only see their own individual feedback and/or grades.</p>
<p>The PostEm tool provides a convenient mechanism to post comments and grades for those instructors that regularly use Excel spreadsheet files to calculate grades. You might also use it to post class attendance records from a spreadsheet file.</p>
<p>PostEm CSV files must follow a particular format:</p>
<ul>
<li>The first column of the spreadsheet must contain the student usernames.</li>
<li>The first row must contain column headings.</li>
</ul>
<p><em>Note: The PostEm tool does not interact with the Gradebook.</em></p>
